Odell Beckham Jr. Accepts Six-Game NFL Ban Following 2024 PED Test

The free-agent receiver becomes eligible in Week 12, narrowing any late-season return.

Overview

  • Beckham disclosed the decision on The Pivot Podcast, with the suspension set to post on the NFL transaction wire Tuesday.
  • The case stems from a failed test during his Dolphins stint in 2024; he says results cited elevated testosterone and maintains he did not knowingly take PEDs.
  • An earlier appeal delayed enforcement, so the six-game clock starts now in Week 6 and would run through late November if he signs.
  • He remains unsigned after Miami released him in December 2024, following a nine-catch, 55-yard season over nine games.
  • He says he still plans to play this year and named the Rams, Steelers, Chiefs and Giants as preferred landing spots.
